LibriVox recording of Little Dorrit, by Charles Dickens.
Read by Ellis Christoff
Born in the Marshalsea Prison for Debtors, Amy—Little Dorrit—the daughter of the ruined, but self-respectful William Dorrit, has put her entire heart in caring for her dear father, until one day her humble path is crossed by Arthur Clennam. Their meeting proves providential not only for Amy's life, but for the whole Dorrit family, whose new rise will, in many ways, be also their fall. As in all his novels, in "Little Dorrit" Dickens ushers us into a fascinating and startlingly rich world of human characters and destinies, where virtue and nobility cross swords with vice and villainy, where strength and weakness intertwine with prejudice and magnanimity and where the author's inspired pen wields a compelling and unforgettable power over the readers. (Summary by Ellis Christoff)

Subject: Little Dorrit, Charles Dickens
This is one of my favorite stories in all my reading experience. I place it as the best of Dickens's works. Some might find it lengthy. For me, the characters and setting are so captivating I find myself wishing the story had no end, but alas it does, and a happy one in a most philosophical sense.
I find it to be Dickens's most effective novel in that it isn't preachy, or high-toned. The accuracy of his depiction is all the moral expose required here, and masterfully handled it was.
You cannot say you know Dickens unless you know this work. You cannot say you're apprised of English literature, unless you know Dickens, and therefore must be familiar with this work in that regard.
